Snarky Thought of the Day #425 A Shocking Truth About SCOTUS #supremecourt #justice #politics #news - Video

Trying to convince young people life used to be different is an interesting challenge.

Take Star Wars, for example.

They keep hearing “Star Wars used to be awesome.”

But, given everything SW related they’ve seen, they can’t trust that.

Then you have to explain, “No, I mean before Lucas started meddling with the original trilogy. Before the added scenes, the ‘Greedo shot first’ nonsense. The added special effects. Before the prequels… before the TV shows, decades before The Acolyte…”

It’s mind-boggling to believe the IP was once original, interesting, and had meaning.

Then you drop a truth bomb on them like I am in this video, and their minds probably can’t comprehend it.

The Supreme Court used to be decent?

When?Before Citizens United?

Before election 2000?

How far back do you have to go?

But it’s true.

Sure, they still continue to throw the occasional bone here and there—Obergefell v. Hodges, maybe NFIB v. Sibelius—but by and large, rulings have gone in favor of corporate interests.

If you really think about it, it’s sad.

Which means it’s best to not think about it at all.

Just remember to check that can of Coke you’re drinking for stray hairs.
